How to trigger LMB outside a window

Hi, just almost finished docky support in Mixer, my only problem is when I show/open DockWindow I quit such window with RMB, ok no problem, but want to quit such window when I click LMB outside the DockWindow too.
Is it possible to trigger such LMB_outside_DockWindow?
Is there some kind/sort of signalbit/mask to add to Wait()?
Creating a input.device MsgPort and "point" to LMB?
Code: Select all
..
OpenDockWindow(Props[CurrentProp].MasterFaderNr);
while( !ProcessDockWindow(DockWindow) )
{
Wait( (1L << (DockWindow->UserPort->mp_SigBit)) );
}
FreeDockWindow();
..
ULONG ProcessDockWindow(struct Window *Win)
{
struct IntuiMessage *my_message;
ULONG closeme = 0, MsgClass = 0;
while( (my_message = (struct IntuiMessage *)GT_GetIMsg(Win->UserPort)) )
{
MsgClass = my_message->Class;
code = my_message->Code;
GT_ReplyIMsg(my_message);
switch(MsgClass)
{
..
TIA

The only thing I can think of is also requesting IDCMP_INACTIVEWINDOW events. When you left click outside a window it becomes inactive.

But my problem is that as soon as I click outside the DockWindow (its becomes InactiveWindow) my loop (while...) stays on 'Wait( (1L << (DockWindow->UserPort->mp_SigBit)) );' and waits forever until a click (again) inside my DockWindow, is there a signal I can "create"/add to 'Wait()' like 'wsig = 1L << (Screen->ClickOnLMB_SignalBit)' or 'Input->ClickOnLMB'?

Why do you want to hear about clicks outside of your window? What do you expect to happen in your window if the user clicks into another window?
IMHO IDCMP_INACTIVEWINDOW is exactly the right way to hear about a click (the first click) outside of your window.

Ups, missed such tag on my 'ProcessDockWindow()', added it and works as expected.
THX (gazelle & thomasrapp) and sorry for being so lame coder
